Yeah, I agree. And, one of Lyle's former teammates, Dwight Harrison, belongs on this list as well. This is a quote from Floyd Little's book Promises to Keep: My Inspired Run from Syracuse to Denver to the Hall:

"A year later, Dwight got into a fight with Lyle Alzado right before practice. Lyle teased Dwight for dropping passes, and Dwight told Lyle to shut up and worry about sacking the quarterback more. Well, Lyle whipped him pretty good. Dwight started telling everyone he was going to "kill that motherf---r"

"He looked like a character out of Pulp Fiction. "Where's that motherf---r Alzado?! I'm going to kill him". Everyone hit the floor, except me. Like a fool I said, "Dwight, he's not here, and you aren't going to kill anyone today".

Later, Floyd basically said that Ralston used the techniques that he learned at the Dale Carnegie school to get him to put his gun away, and he traded him to Buffalo to be back with Lou Saban, who drafted him the year before. The Broncos got Haven Moses in the deal. Harrison was switched to CB after he got to Buffalo.

There are SOOOOO many stories like this that never get out of NFL lockerrooms, so much so that fans don't really know who the real thugs, those bad-attitude-psychopath-mfers, actually are.

Charles Haley should be in the HOF. But he was a thug and bullied most of his teammates in SF and Dallas.

Guys who've been in more than one fight with a teammate IMO are thugs.

According to the application for Brooks' arrest, the incident unfolded after Brooks, Divens and other 49er players spent the evening of June 7 at different players' houses. Eventually they decided to go to downtown San Jose and keep drinking.

The unidentified witness said Brooks was too intoxicated to drive home, so Divens drove. When they got to Brooks' house about 2 a.m. on June 8, Brooks asked for his keys. Divens pretended to chuck them onto the grass and then started to hand them to him.

Brooks then allegedly clocked Divens in the head with a beer bottle. Brooks allegedly began cursing and then struck him in the head again. Brooks allegedly asked Divens, "Do I need to get my (expletive deleted) gun?" and struck him again. Prosecutors also allege in the warrant that Brooks punched Divens.

The attack required Divens to get three stitches, and he initially wanted to press charges. However, the warrant application states that he has since changed his mind. When a San Jose police sergeant called Divens three days after the incident occurred, he said he wanted to drop it.

Two other teammates bore witness to Brooks' actions, according to Kaplan, and one of them was cited in the police report.

If the prosecutors' initial charge were to hold up and Brooks were convicted, it would carry a maximum sentence of four years in prison.

Donte' Stallworth does not deserve to be on this list. Yes, he hit someone while drinking with his car, and yes that is horrible. But did anyone actually read about the incident? The dude he hit tried to run across a busy freeway at 4 am (or was it 6 am?). Stallworth was not speeding, nor swerving or anything, the dude literally was trying to catch a bus and ran across the middle rather than at a cross walk. Also, Stallworths attorneys actually stated that because of all the evidence, Donte' could have gotten out of the manslaughter charges and wouldn't have had to gone to jail at all. But Donte' told them to plead guilty because "It was the right thing to do." He also gave that family a very hefty settlement, and accepted his punishments. There is no "thug" or "gangsta" in Donte'.

Yeah sometimes the "jaywalker" is at fault.
Had that guy run in front of any of us, we'd also have hit him.
Donte doesn't belong with the rest of these criminal thugz.

Leonard Little is a whole different story, similar to Josh Brent except Brent killed a teammate whereas Little killed a random innocent young mother.
